French developer Quantic Dream, the studio behind the upcoming Heavy Rain, has spoken at length about sexes in game and the difference between sexual relations and porn. Sexy! "There are a couple [of sex scenes], but it's definitely not porn," Quantic Dream boss David Cage told PSM3. "We don't intend to push the boundaries and be ultra-realistic in every detail. It's about real characters having emotions and doing what adults do when they fall in love.

The studio is making an adult game. Adult movies have nudity. They also have sex. Not all of them, though. Unfortunately.

Sex and nudity are a part of life. And if the studio is going to depict the real world for adults, then maybe its characters will take off their clothes. Maybe they'll fall in love. Maybe they'll have sex. And that's okay.

The game has already sparked a dialogue about the key difference between sex and sexy.

I'm pretty sure some of the gaming news team are too young to report on this game :rofl:

what? ... mass effect was porn because they showed what everyone does in real life (i did it with the alien cause i am sick of human girls)

but, depicting daily routines in a game suddenly is labeled as porn ... wtf is wrong with people today (mainly old politicians and over zealous retards running for politicians)

i say, let it be man, this is what makes us think, i would be getting this game just for that, see pixels on a screen giving off the illusion of a woman in underwear (as if i don't see that enough downtown)

The fact that he even needed to come out and mention this is unfortunate. If it were a movie with the exact same storyline and events taking place, nobody would bat an eyelash at it.

That said, this game is definitely going into some rarely (if ever) explored territory as far as games are concerned. I've been interested in this one for a couple weeks now (after looking through the other thread), and I'll be buying this just to support the developer. I'd love to see this game succeed, since it'll show other people in the industry that games with mature themes can succeed.

I've yet to understand what the gameplay of the game is going to be like. What exactly is it? Is it going to be a puzzle game? If so, is it going to be a 3rd person game or a First Person game? o__o

a game with hot chicks in it does not need some crazy gameplay

also if you misspell chicks as chiks and the right click on it in firefox you get some asian racist word, cool

Yeah, but what exactly is the player going to be doing the whole game? Because I've yet to see how the gameplay will be.

The best way to describe it is... 'cinematic'

trailer + 10 min gameplay

I think it's because you'll get a shock when you see how this game approaches things.

It's a game about a fathers love for his Son, and a serial killer who's kidnapping and killing children. Not a gun toating Space Marine trying to save the world who consequently gets some booty on the side.

It'll be well and truly a definition of an adult game, not a game labelled an "adult game" because you can fire guns, kill people and see some boobs.

Whatever happened to creating [Definitive] and [Official] threads? ;)

They come nearer to release.

The fact that he even needed to come out and mention this is unfortunate. If it were a movie with the exact same storyline and events taking place, nobody would bat an eyelash at it.

Not really, I think they're just prepping people for one of the first games in our industry that can be taken seriously as a "movie like"/"adult experience", without FoxNews calling the PS3 the "Porno Box for Children".

The game passed with a 15 rating in the UK, a 15. It's going uncut in America as well, when it comes to nudity/sex as graphical as Heavy Rain seems to be, these things don't normally happen unless there's a reason... that reason being it's obviously tasteful and applicable, again like above not just Space Ranger Bob banging a random chick cause you choose option Y.

How rude!

But then I'm 21, bring on the boobies! :D

I agree, there is nothing more enjoyable than in 1 second shooting some monster (or something ) and then see T&A.

@Audioboxer Moreover, i do agree that this Heavy rain game will approach things differently, but yet in school there was this Shakespearean play where the guy has sex with his mom or some sh_t like that anyway ... so ...

while this may be intended for a more mature audience, i disagree with the porn label ... games are not for kids anymore, and adults need their own niche ... so stop ****ing labeling **** and let Adults rule (not politicians or lawyers <- they are not adults nor kids, some are cool guys/girls while others are _____ insert own term )

Not quite sure what you're on about, the whole point of this is Cage telling people Heavy Rain isn't porn, or doesn't need labelled or attention put on it for perfectly natural things that happen in our movie medium - Nudity and sex.

If a game approaches it in the same way a movie does, it should be fine, and from the looks of it Heavy Rain has done it right even passing with a 15 for the UK.

Most games however so far have no romantic build up, or very lack of, black/white options, and one option randomly at some point that if you pick fires into a scene which is suppose to convey love and sex....

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
